Easy Buttered Onion Rice image

Easy Buttered Onion Rice is my version of a recipe that I first saw in a local cookbook while living in the Pascagoula-Gautier area of the Missiissippi Gulf Coast in the '70s! Using butter was considered bad then, but today we consider it better than the old substitutions. Easy dish and enjoyed by all.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your buttered onion rice will be. Use long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, for the best results.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the onions, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming mushy.
  • Cook the onions until they are golden brown: This will give them a rich, caramelized flavor that will enhance the taste of the rice.
  • Use unsalted butter: This will allow you to control the amount of salt in the dish. If you use salted butter, be sure to taste the rice before adding any additional salt.
  • Add the rice to the pan before the butter has melted: This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the pan.
  • Stir the rice frequently: This will help to ensure that the rice cooks evenly and doesn't stick to the pan.
  • Cover the pan and reduce the heat: Once the rice has come to a boil, cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. This will allow the rice to cook gently and absorb all of the flavors from the onions and butter.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: Once the rice is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the rice to finish absorbing all of the flavors and will also make it easier to fluff.

Conclusion:

Buttered onion rice is a simple but delicious side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a flavorful and satisfying dish that everyone will enjoy.
